Joyce Carol Oates discusses her new novel, Fox, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn

National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates joins Gillian Flynn, [...]

National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates joins Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl, for a reading and conversation between two masters of psychological suspense about Oates’ extraordinary career — and her gripping new novel, Fox.

A shapeshifting master of genre and form — working in historical fiction, short stories, critical essays, poetry, and more — Joyce Carol Oates has perhaps above all spent her career amassing a body of work rooted in thrilling, gothic suspense. For decades, she has been a towering influence on younger writers like Gillian Flynn, providing a roadmap for the haunting lapses of memory and personal history that define the contemporary mystery novel.

Following a detective investigating a suspicious death at an elite boarding school, Oates’ new novel is a hypnotic tale of crime and complicity, revenge and restitution, victim and predator — illuminating the darkest corners of the human psyche while asking profound moral questions about justice and the response evil demands. It is a novel as profound as it is propulsive, as moving as it is full of mystery.

In a special reading and conversation in celebration of Fox’s launch between two virtuosic storytellers, hear Oates and Flynn discuss the art of the page-turner, how Oates has opened new terrain in the literature of suspense, how Flynn has reinvented the genre for a new generation, and much more.

“Reading Fox is like being spellbound by a hypnotist who may not wish you well, who leads you, with a deceptively gentle hand, toward that dark forest you fear.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Gillian Flynn

“I just finished an extraordinary novel and am still in its spell. It’s Fox by Joyce Carol Oates, her first ‘whodunit’ or mystery thriller, and it’s unlike any other mystery I’ve read. It’s Remarkable.” — New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder

Your Roots Are Showing – Panel Discussion

Join Spark Your Health for a thought-provoking panel discussion about [...]

Join Spark Your Health for a thought-provoking panel discussion about the documentary Your Roots Are Showing with the director of the film and experts in the field regarding shifting perspectives on beauty, aging, and the health risks versus rewards that come along with the simple act of dying ones’ hair.

https://watch.eventive.org/yourrootsareshowing/play/676d84e722f90810fda7baef

On the panel, the Filmmaker, Ilise Harris, will be joined by the Founder of Silvering Beauty, Alexis Eizinas, Naturopath for Pure Essentials, Melissa Crispell, and Spark Your Health director, Katera Kapoor.

Like many of us, Ilise Harris came out of Covid observing how the world had changed. During the pandemic, with salons closed and priorities shifting, women were forced to confront their gray roots. This, in part, accelerated a trend that Harris believes will lead to the normalization of gray hair for women and girls of any age. In Your Roots Are Showing, she shows us how we got here, and why it matters.

Amplified by a passionate online community called Silver Sisters, this next-wave feminist movement offers freedom from chasing the roots, and an escape from the toxicity of hair dye. These women had a revelation; Silver hair is beautiful and has nothing to do with old!

Using historical references, striking visuals, and interviews with beauty insiders, Harris introduces the audience to a diverse, smart, and insightful group of women. Sharing their “hairstories”, they reject an outdated but entrenched beauty standard. Confronting family, friends, co-workers, and society at large, they land us firmly at the crossroads where feminism disrupts sexism and ageism.

The film is more than an exposé on the question of “What is beautiful?” It invites us to consider this movement as a stepping stone toward a more inclusive, healthier, and happier place of self-acceptance.

This talk was recorded on Jun 10th, 2025, at the 92nd Street Y, New York.
